Spain
Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Torrejón was a product of hometown RCD Espanyol's youth ranks. He spent the 2005–06 season on loan to Málaga CF's B-team in the second division and, upon returning to Espanyol, he became a defensive centerpiece in the side alongside another club trainee, Daniel Jarque; his La Liga debut came on 1 October 2006, in a 0–0 away draw against CA Osasuna.

In the 2006–07 campaign, Torrejón played in ten UEFA Cup games, as the Pericos went all the way to the final, where he missed the decisive shot in a 3–5 penalty shootout loss against Sevilla FC.

The following season, Torrejón scored his first professional goal, in a 1–2 defeat at Real Valladolid on 20 January 2008. In 2008–09 he played almost no part in Espanyol's campaign, due to the signing of Argentine Nicolás Pareja.

On 17 July 2009, Torrejón signed a four-year contract with Racing de Santander, for €1,6 million. He was arguably the most solid defender for the Cantabrians in his first year, only being booked four times in the league, although the club barely escaped relegation.
Germany
Torrejón left Racing at the end of 2011–12, which ended in relegation. On 26 August 2012, he joined German side 1. FC Kaiserslautern on a three-year contract. He made his league debut against MSV Duisburg on 16 September, playing the full 90 minutes in a home 2–1 win, and scored his first goal in the 2. Bundesliga on 5 May, in a 4–1 home victory against FSV Frankfurt.
On 27 August 2014, Torrejón moved to the Bundesliga after signing with SC Freiburg for an undisclosed fee. He played his first game in the main category of German football exactly one month later, as an 80th minute substitute for Jonathan Schmid in a scoreless home draw against Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
Personal life
Torrejón's sister, Marta, is also a footballer. She also played for Espanyol, and represented the Spain national team.
